"He came into my room at 3am the morning after my testicular examination on TV, clearly struggling to sleep, telling me he'd found a lump and asked me if he's checking it right.

"To which I told him, 'Ben, it's 3am, I'll look in the morning, but if there's a lump, go and check it checked tomorrow with the doctor'. Today he sent me a message telling me the news, and thanking me for making him aware, else he'd never have known he had cancer.

Because of this, Chris, who has a low sperm count, has previously undergone four operations - including keyhole surgery. This has left him with a large scar around his pubic area.

Explaining why he left it several years before getting his testicles checked out, Chris told 'This Morning': "Because it doesn't come with a lot of pain it's easy to neglect
